Taking responsibility for
our products at every stage
We take responsibility for our products throughout their life cycles—including the materials
they are made of, the people who assemble them, and how they are recycled at end of life.
And we focus on the areas where we can make the biggest difference for our planet: reducing
our impact onclimate change, conserving important resources, and using safer materials.

Carbon footprint
We continue to make progress in reducing Apple’s contribution to climate change—by focusing
onmaking energy-efficient products with renewable or recycled materials and with renewable
energy. Though product changes to enhance Wi-Fi capabilities drove up emissions, suppliers’
use of renewable energy and use of recycled materials help keep total emissions about the same

Materials
The enclosure of the Siri Remote is made with 100 percent
recycled aluminum.
To conserve important resources, we work to reduce the material we use and aim to one day
source only recycled or renewable materials in our products. And as we make this transition,
we remain committed to the responsible sourcing of primary materials. We map many materials,
some to the mineral source, and establish the strictest standards for smelters and refiners.
We’reproud to be recognized as a worldwide leader in the responsible sourcing of minerals
in our products. Our product designs also consider the safety of those who make, use, and
recycle our products, restricting the use of hundreds of harmful substances. Our standards
go beyond what’s required by law to protect people and the environment.
Aluminum
Apple created an aluminum alloy made of
100percent certified recycled aluminum,

Tin
We use 100 percent recycled tin in the solder
of the main logic board of Apple TV 4K with
Siri Remote. Apple also requires 100percent
of identified tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold, and
cobalt smelters and refiners to participate in
third-party audits.
